We are alive, havent actually moved yet. Still grinding away in the home warranty industry. Just in semi retirement from my hobbies because I am working really long hours, going to school for autocad so I can take that position in souther california, taking care of the family. Plus as mentioned I am in pretty bad financial shape, all three of us in a 550 sq ft 1 bedroom apartment I dont really have room to work on my kits, I am such a worry wort I am deathly afraid to work on them in the living room after he goes to sleep for fear of dropping a blade, jar of paint, even crumbles of putty, not getting them all up and heaven forbid my son getting hurt or sick as a result. I have been pulling out my modeling stuff running my hands over it lately though, I just dont have anything I want to build, I think I need to somehow find myself a good little 1/72 modern jet for cheap and put some work in, I think that is partly my problem, I got deep into a couple really complicated kits that were kicking the crap out of me and my need to build faded. Plus I borrowed an xbox game from a friend a few weeks ago that was full of modern fighters(F-14 through F-22, eurofigher, rafale, su-47 really good stuff) and that really lit that fire for the modern fighters stuff. Unfortunatly not so simple to pad the stash anymore though, this kid is eating me out of house and home, went from 4lbs to 25lbs in no time flat. Frankly I am glad I googled my name this evening though and found this thread, got me thinking I am going to start looking for good sales where I can find a decent modern kit cheap(Please dont tell pink).
No worries though guys, I am here. If you want feel free to shoot me an email some time too
